Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Night's podcast from News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Gee, that's a good and true. How are you going? People? Marcus?
Is my name? One hundred and twenty seven million viewers
for the old super Bowl? That's not badness? And I
think that's in the States too. Gee, one on three,
one on two, one on three, two and five. It
feels a bit like to me, how are you? What's happening? Breathe?
Is it Wednesday or Tuesday? What happened to tuesday?

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
We talked about coins. It was funny enough fun because
last night's show, right, I don't normally game again laser
show too much, but last night's show it was hard
to get going, which is fine. It's the contrast that
makes talkback so compelling to do. But one guy rang

(01:02):
up and he said. One guy rang up and he said,
can I do an impersonation? I've been doing this gig
since nineteen eighty eight, no one's ever tried to do
an impersonation FYI. It was terrible, And for a small

(01:22):
window of my prep today, which is me in the
Tussock Country, I thought, should we do a show on impersonations?
And it took just a fraction of a second for

(01:47):
me to realize that would be the worst idea, because
I don't know if you know anything about new zenas
that do impressions, they do four people, they do Frank Spencer,
they do Sam Hunt, they do Tim Shadbolt, someone else
they impersonate. They're always terrible. The other person is that

(02:15):
they impersonate anyway, So we're not doing that. So there
you go, starting with a negative of what we're not
doing tonight is a night of impersonations, because that's the
way they would be. I think people get drunk. You know,
a great Sam Hunt or you.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Do a great.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Pammy is always terrible. So no, we're not doing impersonations tonight,
and we never will, as honest as the day is long,
it's going to be a cold, dark night in hell
when we do impersonations. So there we go. I'm glad
we've sort of it. Mind you, with chet GPTAI, you

(02:52):
could probably put yourself through that. You could ring up
and you could pretend to be someone else. It's probably
about three days away. We all thought chet gtpt would
be about eight years away, but I feel like it's
about three days away anyway. Ten past eight name as Marcus. Welcome.
I hope it's good where you are. I hope you're
calm and rested. One day I'll write about what happened

(03:15):
today in my life. It'll be a chapter in the book.
But like the chapter about my lawn mower and that
time I was a mowing the law, I thought this
would be a fun thing to do and just about
killed myself. I'm still not brave enough to say what
that was, although recently I purchased a new moer and

(03:39):
the guy said, now, just if you're going to check
under the mower, never thought I thought you. I've learned that.
I've learned that cold hoard lesson their experience. Quite a
good pre took before buying the moer. Anyway, five years

(04:00):
I went for the service, five years I look after it.
I went for a place I had a workshop that
seemed important to me, and they seem to be no
questions asked if I came back and staid, of have
been doing this with the mower. By the way, there
has been a serious accident. This is between Cromwell and Clyde,

(04:23):
not the back road where the Pluotts are, but the
other side State Highway eight is closed. It says there's
no detai available, But I'm almost certain you'd just go
out round the road towards as you'd head towards if
you're coming from I reckon there would oh actually no,
actually looking where that is, there wouldn't be because it's

(04:43):
on the gorge. She'd be a long way round. You
have to go up round Terrace or no, you have
to go In fact, it'd be a long, long long
way around. You have to go via Otamatata or down
via Kingston. So that's apart from the tragedy of the crash,
it's also a terrible place for a crash for diversions. Now,

(05:05):
that was posted five six. It's been updated at seven o'clock.
I would imagine if it's been delayed that long there
would be the serious cresh investigation. So that's that. Yeah,
that's that is a I'm just looking at that map. Yeah,

(05:27):
that is a fairly inaccessible place for an accident. Anyway,
that's up the lake Dunston. They dan for the hydro anyway, Now,
what are we going to talk about tonight? I'll keep
those texts coming, and if you've got something to say
about texts, and keep us updated with that. There's a
fear but going on too, and there seem to be
a few kind of police things going on. I think

(05:47):
there was a situation unfolding and Parmeston North. I'm not
quite sure where that's at, but I will keep you
updated with that also, And if you've got any other
information you want to keep us updated with, get in
touch eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine text. Yeah,

(06:10):
so feel free to be a part of the show. Hey,
here's a question that I'd like to start the discussion
abount tonight. When did the cicadas start? Is it just
within the last day or two? Something quite special about cicadas.
They spend so long underground. They come out for two

(06:31):
weeks and they burrow into the trees, and they get
the sept and they shed their skins and they fly away.
But I only live for two weeks. But when did
they start coming out? And when did they start digging
out of the ground and start making that chirping noise
the loudest insect in the world. Was it just from
the last day or two? And then it begs the
questions I have a discussion. Before I started work tonight.

(06:55):
How far south DoD cicadas go? Because I don't think
I've ever heard them in Southland, and I'm pretty sure
i'd be cognizant of that. So when did they start
and how far south do they go? That's what when
I start talking about tonight, some say cicadas. I don't
like that. I go with cicadas. I might be wrong.
Of course, you can eat them and we might be soon.

(07:19):
Air frar is the spirit for those. But I'm not
saying that we'll have a discussion then talk about eating them,
because it seems disrespectful for these insects that have spent
seven years underground. But I've got some information about where
they are, where they have started. I'd like to hear
about that. Have you just noticed some of the last
day or two. They've been around for a week. It

(07:40):
seems to be late in midsummer. Get in touch, Marcus
till twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Why
does everyone keep asking me about the Super Bowl halftime show?
More questions? I thought was pretty good, like the cut

(08:00):
of as jeans, thought the dancing was good, thought the
songs was good. Anyway, takatas that's the first discussion tonight
O eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Apparently they're all
around Auckland and moving south. But is that what you've experienced?
Is that what you've seen? Let me know. What I
try to do one year is to get people playing
the sounds of skatas and crickets, but with noise counseling

(08:23):
it doesn't work so well. So when do they start?
And I think if we can work out where they
start around the country, we can kind of get an
idea of when they do start and how fast south
they go. So from Tihapua down to where down to Bluff,
I don't think they go down that far. Let me
know if they've started, and if it's a particularly bountiful
year for them. There's something wacky they do like they

(08:48):
there's different species and they always emerge after a number
of years, and a number of years is always prime.
And that's so if there's other insects that like, or
predators that are born every three years, every six years,

(09:10):
it's not going to coincide with their cycle. If you
understand that anyway, Get in touch. Marcus till twelve sixteen
minutes past eight eight free loud tonight. Some are saying, yeah, Sean,
it's Marcus, thanks for calling. Greetings and good evening.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, good made hair game.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Good Sean. What can you tell me?

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Yeah, I'm at Ern's Cloue. I've just just come. I
did notice before an hour or so ago with a
dust up on the Hawksman range there and when you
mentioned the accident. Yes, so there's there's a there's a
pretty good gravel road. It is actually a public road.
The goes from sort of Clyde the Bannockbourn and yes.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
I have I have done it. It's not sealed, is it.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
No?

Speaker 5 (09:55):
No, no, but it used to be rough at guts
like you know, you wouldn't give you in the winter,
or you'd only go over in a four drive you
take a car over ther pace of cake and and
where I'm standing right now, I can see that there's
just dust for refric as. Obviously everybody's gone backers and
forwards over there.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
So okay, and it's quitting up and down road, isn't it.
I mean it's it's it is.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
It's a big climb obviously. It just you come out
over the Red Bridge at Clyde on the on the
on the Unscleu Road, and and just as you know
that Picnic Creek, that that sort of blocky place there,
and just as you leave it and hit the hundred
K sign, you're just you turn off and sign pasted

(10:40):
Clyde look Out and then it goes straight up for
about probably climbs about three hundred meters probably at least,
and and invert and yeah, but it's the roads and
good neck on mountain bike.

Speaker 7 (10:51):
Across he cut off on these days.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
So yeah, have you got have you got any idea
about the accident?

Speaker 5 (10:58):
No, no, no, At first I heard about it was
was was when you mentioned it, I know, because when
when you mentioned it, I thought, oh, they'll use that right,
and then I thought, oh, that'd explained to what I
saw the dust when I drove out of Alex sort
of an hour or so ago, up up up there.
You know, it's a nice you know, wow, it's a
typical Central Otago day, you know, hot try sort of

(11:22):
pretty still.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
I was excited to see in the papers today that
that bikeway from Gibston down to Cromwell through the gorge
looks like that's advancing quite well. That looks quite fun.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, it'll link up quite well, you know, I
didn't think much of the Wow, sorry that wasn't quite correct.
But the Dunston Lake or the Dunston Trail, you know,
from Clyde to sapanic Brand to Cromwell. But that's they
were hoping they have the first year they opened it,
they were hoping they have twenty five people do it,

(11:54):
and they had seventy five thousand people do it. So
it's been a real success and just bit by, but
you know, we'll get a bike all the way to
Wannaker eventually right down to Dunedin obviously, up to Gibson
and into into Airtown and Queenstown. So yeah, it's it's certainly.

(12:15):
And then with the e box coming online at about
the same time, you know, you know, it's sort of
pretty much sure.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
And i'd i'd like the e bikes to be off
the rail trails.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
I agree, but but I've had to well, I think
it's like I won't go and ride that trail unless
I go first thing in the morning, because it's pretty
pretty thin, and you there's some you know, just drops
straight off probably one hundred meters down in some place
of one hundred meters down off to the to the
to the lake, and you sort of see these people

(12:48):
who own the middle of the track and they're holding
on for dear life, and they've got this absolutely terrified
look on their face when you come around the corner
and they're looking straight at you. They ain't moving over,
you know, nic.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Should I got to run, but love, Yeah, I love
you to talk to you. Thank you as well. Get
some Soicata stores, Mike, Good evening, Mark, It's welcome, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (13:08):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah, just weird.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
Friends come over for the weekend and went out for
a walk Sunday morning.

Speaker 9 (13:15):
I'd moved stocks every day.

Speaker 10 (13:16):
Nokada's Sunday morning, our little plantation.

Speaker 9 (13:21):
Was was just you know, ear piercing with Icada's just
so suddenly.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Boom, it was Sunday Sunday.

Speaker 9 (13:32):
Yep, Kai coey Because.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
You mentioned further north. You get them earlier, wouldn't you.

Speaker 11 (13:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (13:39):
Yeah, and you earlier.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
You heard none on Saturday Sunday full noise.

Speaker 9 (13:48):
Exactly, yep. Wow, yeah, and I hadn't heard them that
loud ever before.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Okay, nice to hear from you, Mike. Think we're talking
Toakada's Joeanne at s Marcus Good Evening.

Speaker 12 (14:00):
Oh, Hi, Marcus. Hey. So I'm in Marlborough and I
heard them about a week ago at home, but it
was a really hot it's been a very hot day.
We've got this big warnut tree in the corner and
they were they were just there. Was the first time
i'd heard them, and we were talking about them behind,
thinking they were late, but I hadn't heard them again.

(14:21):
And then on Sunday I was up at Saint Arnold
at Lake Argol fishing and they were really noisy up there,
so they were all out that day. But once again
it was also a very very hot day.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
So last Wednesday, when you say Melbourne, is that Blenham?
Has it ever got that right?

Speaker 12 (14:36):
Yeah, that's Blenham. Yeah, in Blenham at our house. We
heard them about a week ago, just once, and it
was very significant because I was sort of waiting for
them because you know, if your fly fish, you get
to use a little cicada flyes, and I thought it's
the cicadas. Takadas are out and then they disappeared. But then,
as I said, on Sunday, I was out rurally fishing

(14:58):
at Lake Argole, which is near Saint Arnad, and they
were everywhere there. You could hear them all day on
the lake.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Did you have success with that fly on our gal?

Speaker 12 (15:08):
No, actually I didn't put I didn't put on a well,
it was actually too windy. It was actually too windy
to fly fish for me as a novice, but we
had It was really interesting because we went with a
French couple who were staying here doing a home swap,
and they were asking me what sort of fli you
could use, and it was really nice to have the

(15:29):
say of them, well, you could use these these or
if you listen to the insects, you could actually use
a soicado fly, So it was kind of nice to
share that with them. As visitors to the country.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Are you a guide?

Speaker 11 (15:42):
No, No, that should.

Speaker 12 (15:44):
Be, but it's quite important. I feel very excited about
ringing because I'm not a truck driver, because the truck
drivers can give you a wrecking on everything that's happening
in the country. So I sort of felt pretty cool
about ringing and saying I know when they Lena.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, well it's interesting right now, like ag it's called
a pond. It's just a thing off the river, Is
that right, yes?

Speaker 12 (16:04):
And they release they released trout into there from the catchment,
so they Yeah, it's pretty good actually, but it's interesting
you say Sakada. I've only ever heard one other person
say that. I always say cicadas, but one of the
guys I flish fish with sas pakada.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
I've heard it.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Should we go to the pronunciation guide?

Speaker 12 (16:27):
Probably, I'll believe you.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
I've never I've never checked. I'm happy to change too.

Speaker 12 (16:34):
But I was really significant when I met him about
a year ago. He's the president of the club. I thought, man,
he's saying it like that.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
He was quite EMPs about it.

Speaker 12 (16:42):
Was he no, no, no no. I I just noticed it,
and I thought, wow, I wonder what that's about. But
I haven't yet asked him why he sees that I've
got them?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
You want it? I put go on my phone. Okay,
here's a prounciation.

Speaker 13 (16:58):
Chicada.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 12 (17:01):
Oh yes, Sakada.

Speaker 13 (17:03):
Yeah, well that's right.

Speaker 12 (17:04):
But who's done that?

Speaker 14 (17:07):
These here we go?

Speaker 3 (17:13):
I think that's who's done that though. Hi to markus evening,
are you Mika good.

Speaker 11 (17:20):
Tim just cooling about the cicadas? Chicada? I've never heard
cicada before, but with that and you you weren't sure
that they were in Southland?

Speaker 15 (17:32):
Was that?

Speaker 8 (17:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:33):
I don't think I'm aware of them because because I
mean I was surrounded always when I grew up in
the Northland, always by their little skeletons. I don't see them.
I don't think.

Speaker 11 (17:42):
About a year ago milforn track about a year ago
a week, give will take a week. We one morning
we were walking through a little clearing and beautiful morning
and the sound of the cicadas was Deafney. Not quite
Southland Fjordland, but yeah, it was a definitely south end

(18:03):
west about as far as you can go.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
There might be a different mountain one is there is that?

Speaker 16 (18:08):
What? What?

Speaker 9 (18:09):
What?

Speaker 3 (18:10):
I don't I don't know that you got them? You're
in Dneda, are you?

Speaker 11 (18:14):
I'm in Doneda? Yeah, definitely, yea, yea. And they started
in central Otago and through central Otago. Definitely have them
in dne them without to go for a walk through
the Ross Creek area. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
You know that, I do know Ross Creek.

Speaker 11 (18:28):
I heard them through there at times, definitly.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
And you know what day they started this week? Was
this week they've come out or they've been here.

Speaker 11 (18:36):
No, I haven't really noticed, actually, but I know they're
definitely here. At times, it wasn't even the week there
was a season. Is there a week that they come
out each year of it?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, apparently that's what according to people. Yeah, there's just
according to the observers i've here, that seems like late
January or late so late summer they all come out.
It seems to be about now and then next thing
will be the crickets. Yeah. By the way, I didn't
realize this. There's a MOULDI name for them, kihiki, the
sound of summer. So maybe it's not cicada or cicada.

(19:12):
Maybe it's kihiki.

Speaker 17 (19:14):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
I didn't even know that one hundred of spells loudest
insect there is, Sure there's louder insects. Sure a mosquito
sometime when they get going, Jim, AT's Marcus good evening?

Speaker 17 (19:27):
Oh good, Marcus. Yeah. I was staying with my sister
in Australia and the boys. They lived on next to
a big bush reserve and the boys used to go
into the bush and then climb these massive trees like
three or four stories high, and they come down with

(19:48):
cicadas in their pockets. They'd catch them and then they
were easy to catch, but they were quite a bit bigger.
They were about three inches long and very brightly colored.
And they used to keep them in a keep them
in a shoe box, and they used to swap them

(20:09):
among each other. There were different colors, and the black
prince that was the most valuable. That was the black one.
So the green ones for the most common. They were
called greengrocers. So they would have to have about five
or six green gracers to get a black prince if
if you were swapping them. And the yellow ones would

(20:32):
call yellow mondays. So that was their hobby.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
They would have lived that long, would they?

Speaker 13 (20:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (20:42):
Yeah, they used to keep them in a keep them
in a shoe box.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
How long?

Speaker 17 (20:46):
They looked like an old shoe box with the throes
and greenery in their fort for them three but they're noisy.
But so the black prince was the was the number one.
That was the they were. They were quite rare.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Did they call them cicadas or did they call them locusts?

Speaker 17 (21:07):
They have cicadas?

Speaker 3 (21:08):
I think I don't know what I don't know because
I mean when you because I presume they're the same
family as the locust, is that right? And because the
locus of that beginning.

Speaker 14 (21:16):
They're the same as our one here, but just bigger.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yep, okay, because it three inches it's quite a size.
I thought you're going to stay.

Speaker 11 (21:25):
That yeah, yeah, no, quite a bit bigger.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, I think you're going to say that.

Speaker 17 (21:28):
They and there's plenty of them too, and then they
had no trouble catching them, but plenty of green ones.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Oh yeah. I think Soicada's always quite easy to catch
because they've always got their kind of their spout and
sucking the sap out of the tree dead citters. Was
that what you call it? E one hundred and eighty.
You're nice to talk to you there, Jim Cicada's when
do they come out? People? You just noticed them today.
Marcus wanted to give you a heads up about Soicada's

(21:58):
in Central. Your calls won't work for free, apparently if
you're not with a monopoly provider. I'm gutted with these
outfits anyway. Skada's seemed to be a bit later each year.
It's been windy a lot here. Can't wait to get
out too, great moss or Onslow next week or so

(22:19):
chairs jj Wapiata that's Lake Onslow Sicada's having noisy for
last two to three weeks, been walked with in Snell's
Beach and crickets at night. I live here in Alexander.
We hear bugger all. When I lived in Auckland, I'd
be deaf. Siri can't even pronounced street names properly on

(22:42):
Google Maps, said alone, Sir Carda's real name. You need
to change your pronunciation. I don't need to do anything.
That's the official pronunciation my This person spelled Sir Carda's
s E r c A d I s Sicata's at
Mount Longan. Have we been out since gen? I think
you can hear walking around the mount Marcus heyre Marcus.

(23:05):
Sicada's full light each day here in Lee had me
out from out early February. I've been fortunate spent a
lot of time in the south of France and mids Ofer.
The Sicada nois is much noisier than ours across July
and August, height of northern summer. Their insects much bigger.
Love that sound of summer. Rickets will be next. I

(23:26):
think they mean crickets first. Sicicada at Mound Ead and
this year was sixteenth January. Heard them at popa mile
today on the bike trail E bike. Because I'm seventy marks,

(23:48):
I'd say that the last week of sicadas, there are
thousands singing their hearts out in large grove of tweets
on Tapu Coraglian Road. They even single night during the
peak of summer. I've totally noticed the sicadas this week too,
haven't heard for so long it took our surprise. How
loud is a single one amazing mic is the beautiful

(24:08):
sun of the takada started here in christ yesterday the
sound of summer for me. By the way, someone said
that the accident is a motorbike versus a ute. There
are a lot of motorbikes on the road too, for

(24:29):
people hitting back from Bert Monroe. That's the motorbike rally.
And yeah, I've come across a lot of them on
the Bluff Road and I love to overtake, don't they.

(24:52):
So yeah, I don't even know what to say about that.
But you'd be careful because they are on them. They
are on the roads, those motorbikes. They don't know how many
will be about three or four thousand, so they will
be they will be hitting up. So Cicada is the

(25:15):
British pronunciation cicada is the American pronunciation. I reckon, That's
what I'm going to play now, actually listen to this.

Speaker 18 (25:25):
We are looking at how to pronounce the name and
come in large homopterous insect with long, transparent wings found
mainly in warm countries. How do you go about pronouncing it?
In Spanish, this is usually said as cicada cicada. In
British English, this is said as cicada, very close to

(25:47):
the Spanish pronunciation in British English cicada. You do want
to stress from the middle syllable cicada. In American English, however,
it is usually said as circada circada cicada in British English,
versus circada in America in English. Here on many more

(26:08):
videos on how to pronounce many words in English whose
pronunciations aren't exactly obvious, and many words that differ between
the British and the.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
American m I don't know about you, but I'm not
living in the fifty first state. Icada, cicada, sokada. Unless
you want to be American and go aluminum. We're going
to go aluminum? Are we going to go Gulf of America?
That's what they call it. Jesus stir isn't he? Are
we going to go aluminum? Are what else? The America?

(26:39):
Are we going to go z abc? Anyway, I can't
think one of the other American doesn't know it's cicada.
We are pronunciation is based on the British and then
you're going to go a razor and I'll fight you
on that, but unless you want to be old, suck

(27:01):
her up to America and go with their pronunciation Cicada, sicada, cicada.
That triggers some people. A sicada, cicada, cikada or Kihiki
are the kihi ki in kihi kihi that would be?
Have we got anyone living there? I'm sure we have.

(27:24):
I've realized we spoke to someone recently in Kihi Kihi
or they in t A. It's near there. I think
that we want to come through there on the bus
trip was Kihiki. You're just south of t A. It's
almost combined tiawamutu and Kihiki. It's always become te our. Yeah,

(27:47):
I can't really work at what the combination of those
two would be. So we're talking about Cicada's pronunciation. E
bikes one of our predictions for this year is that
there's going to be an accent on a rail trail
that's going to lead to a fatality. It's going to
be caused by an e bike because they shouldn't be

(28:07):
on those rail trails. But I might be a lone
voice in that. I say that quite often, don't I coward?
That's a coward thing to say. What do we think
of people from one Aca going elsewhere to get McDonald's.
It's like, Wow, one ocare of town's so special. They

(28:28):
keep going about the McDonald's and one ocare has been
a drive all McDonald's drive through apart from the one
at the airport. I presume it's sit in and drive
through anyway. I'm sure I'll get one. It's crazy they
haven't got one. You might want to say something about that.

(28:51):
I just don't know what you'd say. But I guess
for a lot of people, becomes one of those towns
that probably I guess if you move to one occur

(29:13):
and decide it's a little bit kind of takes itself
of it seriously, and they think of it much of themselves. Well,
you were warned if they think that above having a McDonald's.
How precious is that? For goodness sake? Anyway, I'm not
not sure what you want to say about that or
Cicada's Marcus till twelve seventeen to nine. Yes, I'm not

(29:35):
going with the American pronunciation marcus. One of the worst
americanisms is deep plane as opposed to disembark Marcus Wayne
from Trentam Here, Hi, Wayne from trentam I started hearing
cicadas two days ago and I worked near among our hills.
Maybe this is the year, this is their seven year

(29:55):
breakout again? On another note, are they related? They are
another note of they? On another note, they are lated
to locus. They will probably taste pretty good. I live
for a it in camp parlor. You get his capital
for many years ago, full of protein and taste like
beatup butter. I wouldn't have eaten them at the time,
but as little drunks, so went back next morning to
buy more basil. I do like to say basil, by

(30:24):
the way, is basil American? The troubles I started saying
basil and I can't stop. Marcus have attended a lot
of motorcycle accidents, nine out of ten because they crossed
the middle the center line, going around bens and corners
and get clipped. Bloody cicadas everywhere in christ Church today

(30:47):
it's all about the cicadas. People welcome. My name is Marcus.
Someone says McDonald's is a basic human right almost. I
think why Hiki should get one too. Actually, they'll freak
them out. Cicada, we said when we grew up in Nelson.

(31:10):
But yeah, there we got a lot of texts about cicadas.
Notice them went into about two weeks ago. Don't usually
notice them. Gillis is really loud tonight in Blenham, eight
days ago in Upper Hut. There's been out and about
since Christmas up here in the White cat I don't
think so, not since Christmas. But if you've got anything

(31:32):
to say about cicadas, if you've eaten them, or you've
just noticed them, let me know how that's working out
for you. My name is Marcus. Welcome, eight hundred and eighty.
Tay text Be would love to hear from you. And
also the old McDonald's and Warnica don't feel good about that,

(31:53):
by the way, right has anyone lived in a suburb
But it's got a McDonald's and it's been every very
bad thing for them. Just so you do know, for
the sake of full disclosure, there is no McDonald's in Bluff,

(32:19):
despite the song they're reading them in Kaitaia. They're eating
them in the Bluff. The closest or the southernmost is
in south inover Cargo on Ellis Road. It's actually not
a bad operation. It's it's a bit of an oasis

(32:39):
in car Actually it was the KFC that there was
the oasis. An I don't know what I'm talking about.
Get in touch. One name as Marcus. Welcome Sicada's our
Americanism's creeping in. Oh, here we go. Here's This is
straight from Johnny on the spot. The Hawksburn Road has

(33:01):
been closed due to the high volume of traffic and
driver's skill. That's the old reach around to go down
the other side from like over Bannockburn. That road has
been closed. It's a pretty sketchy kind of road, so
thanks for that. So there are no diversions a text.

(33:23):
We have no McDonald's on Wahiki Island. And when my
kids did league, I noticed that we have the trimmest
kids in Auckland for junior league teams. So Carda's and
the worded Apple since the mid January great shows on
the what appen mid January or early January midget didn't
see them, Marcus Oregon old? You is say, oh Oregon

(33:47):
old or something like that. Took me ages to realize
what they were talking about. Love your show on my
meal breaks, sitting in my car listening Jody, Jody, Jody,
get in touch. Some Cicada's spend seventeen years underground, feeding

(34:13):
on roots before surfacing. On another note, I've been waiting
to get I've been wanting to get a motorbike. Might
be a midlife crisis thing. Keep hearing about bike crashes
probably a bad idea. Yeah, well they do call them
temporary kiwis for a reason. Marcus e bike causing a

(34:35):
death on a cycle trail. Bit of a random accusation. There,
I feel personally attacked, But seriously, I do agree. I've
seen some re speedy boomers racing around pretty fast on
those things look quite dangerous. Their postures all wrong, they're
bolt upright and the and their arms are fixed. Their
arms are stiff, so they got no yeah, if it

(34:57):
goes bad, it or go back and they ring their bells.
Marcus to say that e bikes should not have the
same rights as pedal bikes. Would be like saying ben
eve to bean evy cars from public roads, as the
dimensions are the same. No one is propelled by a
human one is propelled by a bat tree. It's quite straightforward.

(35:23):
It's Pete Marcus, welcome anyway, marks there you go. Yeah, Pete,
I'm going okay yourself.

Speaker 6 (35:30):
Yeah, I do. Well.

Speaker 10 (35:31):
You don't much research on the cicadas how they actually function.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
There's been a lot of time underground. They pop out
for two weeks, breed and then die. Is that right?

Speaker 16 (35:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (35:42):
They can look about They live about almost something about
seventy years. They wreaking on the ground or someone will
they come out.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Not much of a life, is it?

Speaker 10 (35:51):
No? No, really know you know how they actually eat.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
They suck scept through a straw a probiscus.

Speaker 10 (35:59):
Pretty much, almost like a mosquito pretty much. They don't
have a mouth at or they just yeah, they do
bite because they just watching an old lady here about
Kim's gardens about it, and she's just saying you leave
them too long on your hand. They will actually pierce
the skin.

Speaker 16 (36:13):
Who said this?

Speaker 10 (36:16):
There's a little watching, a little thing on YouTube now
it's called Kim's Gardens about it. She's just saying, is yeah,
apparently there there's quite a few which she lives in there.
We've got to hear a New Plymouth player. We had
the last probably of the last week I've been. They've
been wearing New Plymouth quote. My place is always hear
them during the day, during the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
You sound quite patiate about them, Pete.

Speaker 10 (36:38):
Well, the one the other day, I say, I wasn't
the body tall at there? And he's body went there.
You should body walk there.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
You should get a cicada. You should get a cicada tattoo.

Speaker 10 (36:50):
Actually quite a pretty that quite a pretty little that
quite pretty.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Chipping one hundred dollars if you want to get a
cicada tattoo.

Speaker 10 (36:58):
No, no, I got no teddies on the body. Don't
want to if I don't want to.

Speaker 17 (37:01):
Name on me.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
This laughing Pete, Bob, Marcus.

Speaker 15 (37:07):
Welcome, Hey, hey, and Marcus. I look, I'll just give
you a quick reporting coming from Wellington to Farming. And
I'm looking towards Warrington right now, and it's a beautiful
weaving down here. I like orange took on the horizon.
And a big blew ups gone, and the moon is
as slightly bright and fault right now?

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Right are you hitting hand?

Speaker 15 (37:34):
And right? And the cicada's cicada's cicadas and lower hacket
just started this week. I think to my wife as
we went back to the bush flight, the noise was
quite a minute offscadas effect this year, and she goes, oh,
they were here the last couple of years. And that's
what I've noticed, lil.

Speaker 19 (37:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (37:55):
That and when you going on about how the Americanism
is coming into our language the campus for the point,
where isn't it?

Speaker 11 (38:08):
What is it?

Speaker 15 (38:11):
Would you put the d in front of the jar?

Speaker 3 (38:17):
I didn't catch that because you just went through to
jam to jambond.

Speaker 15 (38:23):
Do you know when you have dick jam or deep path?
That's teach?

Speaker 3 (38:30):
What's he saying then? That I couldn't quite get your
handle ever? Thank you, Marcus. Those bloody bike bells. I
do a lot of walking along cycle walkway. Some cyclists
start ringing their bells around ahead of it. That's what's
trouble with you, Plymouth and that coastal walkway. You need
to ning Ning Ning Ning, Hello, Ding ding ing Ning cheapest,

(38:53):
just be it quite on your bike and take a
vase of X. You have the loud building ning ning
ning behind you. They're on an and doorphin high Oh,
for goodness sake, I'm just trying to think of americanisms
that are sneaking into our language. I know they say math,

(39:14):
you're studying math. There might be some of those that
you've got to say. It's happening the other way too,
By the way, like the Americans are saying ginger for
someone with red hair.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
I don't know what the americanisms are that you are
worried about. Cicada is one of them. Wilworth has a
new promo, spend thirty dollars again, a Minecraft collectible that
you put together like the old Happy Meal toys, more
consumable rubbish. I like Minecraft's over that everyone's onto Fortnite,
aren't they know? In place Minecraft it's too boxy? See

(40:01):
they can wear? Are the curves? The Carters and Thames
in my house loud? About two weeks Marcus, those bloody
bike bells. I'd a lot of walking along cycle walkways.
Some cyclists start ringing their bike bells about a hundred
meters away, and they keep going after passing. It infuriates me.

(40:25):
There are people who put on your rider on your left.
They're fantastic. I've screamed at a couple to stop ringing
their bloody bells. Thereticts, well, the thing is that. Yeah, anyway,
I've got to try and not to sweat the small stuff.
Terror when you're trying to put a baby to sleep,
ding ding ding behind you, ding ding ding ding. Going

(40:51):
to meccas, Now, what shall we order? Whatever you want?
I always say, I'm going to fix it. I always
wonder how dinner was broken. Oh that's annoying. It's also
annoys when people say, well, we've lost we've lost someone,
we've lost our grandmother. I think we would you lose them,

(41:13):
but you can't say that because they're actually in morning
ten past nine JT. Marcus, Welcome, good.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Evening, Marcus. I heard late last night that more Rag
is brown bread.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
She's passed away. And she used to be my favorite caller.

Speaker 8 (41:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
In fact, in fact her last call a year or
two ago. I sent a text through to you after
after her call finished, saying, hallelujah, more Rag is my
favorite caller.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
Do you remember what it was about? What it was
about the last.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Call and you read it out NH not particularly was
it was it less just less than a year ago?
Or was it eighteen months?

Speaker 3 (42:05):
I don't know. We might have it on our Dan
will tell me.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
But she did mention that she just got home from
hospital and she's had like that last call and then
she's like passed away about eighteen months later. But she
had that round Scottish accent.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
And but wasn't she wasn't she involved with the with
the Germans on their side as well?

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Yeah, there was something about that.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
She was she involved in a rubber plantation in Malaysia too?

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Or was it in South America?

Speaker 3 (42:45):
So I've got an article right that you might be
interested in. JT. Yep from Somerset Village. There's Summer magazine
Dame Katie Calico lives in the care center at Somerset
on the Coast and with her owner ninety year old
and morerag owl in a whole article about a cat,

(43:08):
but it's written from the point of view of the
cat's very good it us do so and there's a
lovely there's a lovely photo of her and the cat.
She looks exactly and she looks exactly like you'd mentioned her.
The look, the cat and more ragg anyway.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Class a Scottish grandmother type and she could be stern,
but she would be frank in her opinions. I remember
that much.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
Always had a smile in her voice.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, that's the other thing she always used to bring up.
Last decade, she used to bring up Bruce Russell. That
was either I think just after seven o'clock news every
Saturday because I used to be driving back from christ Church.
And yeah, she was definitely a regular caller. But as
far as the Wanaka or Wonica bad, how dare they

(44:05):
say no to mc donald.

Speaker 8 (44:06):
How do they?

Speaker 3 (44:07):
How do they? The kids will be serious?

Speaker 2 (44:11):
It was a perfect location for people, a truck drivers
driving through the half pass because it was on the
state highway to the corner. It was a perfect location.
This is not the end of McDonald's and Wanica, Wonica
will get a McDonald's. And I just want to put
a shout out to the McDonald's brothers, Richard and Marris

(44:34):
McDonald and the ghost of Ray Kroc hallelujah. How dare
they try and stop people from preaching from worshiping at
the Golden Arches.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
It's weird how they say it doesn't go without I mean,
what towns have values that? I mean, I can't they're
opposed to the rubbish or something something. It just sounds
so stupid.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
I don't think I could live in a town without
a McDonald's. Well you could, basic, you could basic human, right.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
You couldn't live in a town where people are so
precious that they think the town's the town's special nature
is going to be destroyed by some fast food parlors
everywhere all over the world.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Oh no, it's a bunch of imbecilic prats.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
Have they got KFC?

Speaker 18 (45:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Nothing, have they No?

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Lincoln's lincoln Is population is due to at thirteen thousand
mid years, so are and both in line for both
of them as well. But the one word which is
probably the different pronunciation between New Zealand and America.

Speaker 20 (45:43):
Would be booie.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Oh yeah, but I've got relatives in North Carolina and
the kids used to have to take out the trash,
and that was the word that they said was the
biggest difference, booie and trash.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
By the way, Wanica has a Dominoes.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah, yeah, they're going to have to get used to
having a McDonald's at KFC, and probably.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
A BK nice to hear from here, and a Popeyes
and a Nando's. We all know Nando's is the most delicious,
but it never seems to work. All nothing goes broke
like a Nando's. Pontsibi Road Gone, Dunedin Gone. It's a
pick of all of them. I can't work out why
they can't make it work. I mean, everyone knows, Marcus.

(46:38):
Just listening to your caller just now. Sorry to hear
that about More Egg. She was a favorite of mine too.
I knew I hadn't heard to call in sometime. Yes,
occasually get a text, Oh mom's died. Loved the show,
but you never quite know who they are. But more Egg,
by the way, More Egg hasn't had her scending off yet.

(47:04):
I think they've had her funeral. But the there's probably
family traveling, but it might be online. We might be
able to watch it. Yeah, I'm not yeah, Dan, Okay, yeah, okay.
Image what they say, what they say anyway, Helen Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 21 (47:28):
Hi.

Speaker 22 (47:28):
Now. I'm not sure if I've got the right person,
but I think More Egg's husband was in the army
and they went to they were stationed in Germany.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
But he's on the wrong side, wasn't didn't she say,
he's on the wrong side.

Speaker 16 (47:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
I think he's in the German Army, wasn't he?

Speaker 22 (47:47):
No, No, it was in British Army.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
No, I'm sure she said.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
No.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
We can't think too much about that. He was on
the other side.

Speaker 22 (47:52):
Oh, I don't know. I thought he was in the
British Army and they were stationed in Germany after the war.
But I could be really wrong now about these creeping americanisms.
Some of these just drive me round the men. We've
got semi for semi has got that put that in

(48:13):
the sentence well as in semi trailers or see my
something else, you know. And then we've got route for roote,
like route sixty six you know route Yeah, different, take.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
A different and the kids kick it up because of
watching so much TV. Different route will take a different route, yes.

Speaker 22 (48:38):
And then there's Antarctica, which just particularly gets me. For Antarctica,
that's what that is, Antarctica. And then there's aluminum.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
I don't know how I mean, I don't want to.
I don't want to diminish Americans, but I don't know
how you get aluminum from that.

Speaker 22 (48:56):
And then there's the mispronunciation. Well, it's debatable with a
Connecticut when the words spelt Connecticut, but that's.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Just that's that's their own places. They can say that
they want, can't they.

Speaker 22 (49:12):
Right? Yeah, yeah, Now, I was wondering, if you do
do something for me, please, the pronunciation of aubergine or aubergine.
Can you tell me what the correct pronunciation for that is?

Speaker 3 (49:26):
They were both the same helen.

Speaker 22 (49:28):
Aubergine, sorry, aubergine or aubergeene.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Obuergene.

Speaker 22 (49:38):
That's what I thought.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Who wants to fight you about that?

Speaker 22 (49:42):
Oh well it was I just yeah, no, I thought
it was obergine, But I've been hearing it pronounced allbigine.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
I understand what both meant.

Speaker 22 (49:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, but it's the it's the friends pronunciation
of the au, and you get this faro for instance.
Was I'm sure that's spelt as it is because of
the French missionaries who were transcribing the language into into spellings.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Goodness, okay, it's the it's.

Speaker 22 (50:17):
The au, which gets mispronounced all the time anyway, So
it's aubergine and that's what I thought it was. Thank
you so much.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
My pleasure. We thought any more audio, more egg. Don't
think she would have taped your own calls? What was
happened to the cat? The cat is called Dame Katie Callico.

Speaker 13 (50:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Once a village troublemaker. Dame Katie Callico used to terrorize
smaller dogs at ten village movie nights with more Egg. Nowaday,
her interests have shifted to watching rugby in the care
center and catching a ride on more rags walker back
to their room. Despite your age, Katie remains nimble enough
to jump out of the window for nightly escapade with

(51:15):
Zam Booker, another feline resident. It seems that kate senior
years are full of the mix of routines and a
touch of adventure. It's a special sort of writing and
a rest time newsletter. Lovely cat tortoise shell. If I
understand what tortoise shell is, Tom, it's Marcus, good evening, welcome.

Speaker 23 (51:37):
Oh you hime, Marcus. Yeah, just a couple of things
you raised about the American words. I find that Americans
seem so embarrassed to use the word toilet, and they
always use the word bathroom. It seems use more common
here now.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Yeah, because of course it'll offer there's not a bath.

Speaker 9 (51:58):
In it, that's right, And I mean I do.

Speaker 23 (52:03):
Coulibod tramping and you can be out in the back
and try and all there is a long drop and
they will say I'm going to the bathroom when they
actually mean they're going to the long drop or the toilet.
And also also based on that also because they're gonna
do lots of tramping. It really annoys me that the
word hiking is becoming used more and more here in Zealand.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Yeah, I don't like hiking.

Speaker 23 (52:28):
Yeah, I mean tramping is a word unique to New Zealand.
And I'll be said that you know, over the over
in the coming years that the word tramping may disappear
completely and we adopt the word hiking. And you know,
the word tramping unique to the Zealand has gone forever.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
What are the British called? Do they call it rambling?

Speaker 23 (52:52):
Yeah, I think it's something like that. Each country has
got their own particular word. So I think we as
an Zelander should try and retain our words, whether it's
camping or cura or whatever.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Yeah, no, I'm hearing you if yeah, I'm hearing you
for tramping.

Speaker 23 (53:10):
And can I make a mention of McDonald's and queen
and Wantica, Yes please, Yeah, So, I mean from what
I've seen in the media and what the locals said,
the local objection about the whole matter was about was
that a lot of people were objecting to McDonald's saying
that they didn't want McDonald's to ruin their so called

(53:32):
healthy lifestyle and environment in Wonkah. But I think Wannacker
is well pasted that because I've been to Wantica a
number of times, you know in the summertime, where there's
like drunken allounce all over the place, and it's like
it's not necessarily a fitness healthy community. It's just it

(53:58):
seems that some members of the local community in Wantica
is a very precious about their town and it's like,
to me, it's no different to Queenstown.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
Now, oh, Queenstown's better because of about what it's about.

Speaker 23 (54:13):
Yeah, proposed the location of McDonald's and Wantica was actually
out of the township if it was a very suitable
location for anyone who was upset about Tom McDonald's coming
to town.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Yeah, I don't know what the downside is for them.
I don't know what's probably going to get them to
see their senses. But yeah, they do come across as precious.

Speaker 23 (54:35):
Yeah, that's that's what.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
Yeah, No, I you know, I agree entirely, Tom, and
I thought that would go ahead. I thought the local
council would see reason. But you know who knows what
be on the council there? Yep, Malcolm Marcus.

Speaker 7 (54:46):
Good evening, Gay.

Speaker 20 (54:48):
Marcus, longtime listener, first time caller to you, and may
I say I love your drywood over the years. But anyway,
two semi related topics on fast food chains. The first
it's not McDonald's, but it's a new entrant Popeye. You've

(55:11):
heard of them.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Yes, I will never walk.

Speaker 20 (55:16):
Over their threshold with the typical And I've got a
lot of American friends, by the way, who the way
they work a thirty year old Chinese couple business somewhere
in I wouldn't it's somewhere in the mid central Northe
Island got a cease and desistance.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
I remember that.

Speaker 20 (55:42):
I will never ever walk into their store. It was
like a.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Mountain or somewhere, wasn't it. There was a pop.

Speaker 20 (55:53):
The way they do business, you know, and they're just
open one lot of heart. They haven't come to wealth
and yet well that's not surprising. That's where I look.
But anyway, on a slightly funny here, what's the word suburbic?

Speaker 24 (56:09):
Note?

Speaker 20 (56:10):
I do hope Donald Trump is he's going to pay
excess for his big max each every day. That's got
New Zealand beef? Or does he escape it?

Speaker 3 (56:25):
Is it does? Didn't beef go there?

Speaker 24 (56:30):
Virtually all the.

Speaker 20 (56:31):
Beef in McDonald's in the US comes.

Speaker 9 (56:36):
From New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Didn't know that?

Speaker 9 (56:39):
Now, well you can.

Speaker 20 (56:41):
Fact check it, but the bulk of it does.

Speaker 18 (56:45):
And with his.

Speaker 9 (56:49):
You can tell.

Speaker 20 (56:49):
I'm not Trump's supporter. But does he escape the teriff?

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Goodbye, Malcolm? I'll find out. By the way, the couple
they went in mart On there and Fielding, Bill cow
and May's that I hope they're going?

Speaker 21 (57:08):
All right?

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Can we know what they're called? Popeyes and Fielding. Let's
have a shout out to them on North Street and Fielding?
What did they change your name to? McDonald's. That's a joke.
What would you change your name to? I think it's

(57:32):
called used to be Popeyes, which is quite good. Are
it's renamed North Street Takeaways? So there we go, North
Street Takeaways. I don't know if they just put the
line through Popeyes or done something more.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
She she.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Marcus, your caller whore objected to high king versus tramping.
We live in New Zealand, not New Zealand, Marcus, you
are bang on. Rinando's comfortably the best takeaway food. It
staggers me every time they shut that they can't work.
Would love to know from someone who may know more
about the model. Yeah, I'd love to know more about it.
But always delicious, and I go from time to time

(58:17):
ride Well, no, I don't say that, but I've walked.
When I was we were staying in central christ Church
and I was working from the christ Church office which
was out and got some god forsaken place out by
the railway shunting yard. It took me about an hour
to walk there, and i'd walk down Ricketton Road. I'd
walk past Nando's. Oh, I apologize. I would attempt to

(58:41):
walk past Nando's. I couldn't do it. I physically couldn't
do it. There was like this force field pulling me in.
And you know, so often you give into temptation with
a force field, with a food force field, whether it
be Danish Delights or KFC or but you went into

(59:02):
Nando's because you couldn't get past the Nando's food force
field and you'd have a bite and you think, wow,
that was the right move. There wasn't the remorse that
you get with the dirty bird. It was all good quick.
Oh Honestly. We were living in the camping ground at

(59:27):
Tuckapuna a while back, probably eleven years ago. Twelve years ago.
I'd lost my license, had to be close to work.
But I got talking to the guy at the Nando's
in the arcade there and he tried to convince me
to start the franchise in Vicago. Kind of wish I had. Anyway,

(59:52):
we haven't got one in Vicago. There isn't even one
in Dunedin. Why would it go broke there? I think
it was a jink side. I think it had had
Madame Woo's and it had Nando's. Think I'm right? Anyway?
Has that enough of a self reveal? Now get in touch.

(01:00:26):
My name is Marcus. Welcome. By the way, There are
trains on the Central Rail Loop as we speak. This
is the underground loop in Auckland, the CRL. I've just

(01:00:51):
been sent some information. City rail Link is officially announced
the first test train we'll take to the CRL tunnels
tonight pending final checks. And she's in. I've got video.

(01:01:14):
There's a picture of a train. Wow in one of
the stations underground. It's going very slowly, but yeah, she's happening.

(01:01:36):
Wow the stations look. Oh it seems to be starting.
This seems to be at Britomart and going through the loop.

Speaker 5 (01:01:44):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Oh that's exciting. Long time. Thank you Len Brown. You're
the only one with the vision to get that going,
and we haven't had vision in Auckland's leadership since. But
you said yes to the rail loop and it's gonna
be a real thing. Let's get it done, he said.

(01:02:05):
So there you get in touch. One name is Marcus.
Welcome twenty five to ten to ten to ten. It's
all about sicata's where are they? Are they?

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Where you are.

Speaker 4 (01:02:20):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
This is a letter about the Hercules planes from the
Chief of Air Force, Air Vice Marshall Darren Webb See
one thirty Hercules delivery to Air Museum. We want to
let you know in advance about an unusual aircraft movement

(01:02:44):
plan for the coming weeks. The Royal US and the
Air Forces intend to land a See one thirty eight
Hercules transport aircraft on the grounds of the Air Force
Museum between the hours of eight am and eight pm
within the next month. The landing is with a dependent
so apologies we cannot be more exact with the timing

(01:03:06):
because this an unusual event. Our Intida persona will be
out in the neighborhood in the days they head to
talk to residents closer to the Air Force Museum who
are near the flight path to explains what's happening and
answering any questions. The Hercules will fly in a low
approach over Corsia Drive. There will be a very loud
noise for a short amount of time as it flies

(01:03:26):
over and goes reverse thrust upon landing. While helicoton's land
regularly in your area, the site and sound of such
a large aircraft on a low approach to the grounds
of the Air Force Museum will be unusual. Please not
be alarmed. There is a chance the aircraft may fly
over more than once to practice its approach and ensure
conditions are correct for landing. Once to Hercules land, it

(01:03:51):
will text you their hangers and the shut down. Is
the air field large enough the Air Force Museum sits
on thirty seven hectares of using the Defense Force land
and there is more than enough space to land safely.
The one Raine approaches have been surveyed and the clearance
is over. Properties and trees close to the perimeter are
adequate for the landing, although it will appear very close

(01:04:11):
for the near those near the airfield boundary. The aarons
and have most experienced Hercules. Crew has been chosen to
fly the aircraft and they have been well prepared for
this activity. That's exciting. Well, that's very interesting looking at
the Air Force museums. I mean it's not really a
runway as such. It's just a loz And shaped field

(01:04:32):
with a bit of a strip down it. But I
think they're going to land top to bottom on the dirt,
ifone knows anything more about it. I presume that's why
that strip still there, because for an Air Force museum
you need planes to land there. We've always got any
more information about that, that is fast, like what of
the other planes have landed there. I've never been to
the Air Force museum. Kind of not my thing, but

(01:04:53):
I think more and more it is my thing. Actually,
I don't know if it's my thing haven't been there.
They are always we talked to sometime in the when
we talk to children the school holidays. A lot of
children went to the Air Force Museum for a school
holiday program, which sounded surprising but also showed great for

(01:05:19):
thinking by them. Yeah, Marcus have just spent four days
staying in Punacoke. The Takada's were amazing from morning to night.
One night sitting on the deck was first. They just
see that the Dakarta studied quiet as it got dark,
regards Margaret. Yeah, it's an amazing tape of a solar

(01:05:46):
eclipse in the Northern Territories in Australia. You hear all
of the insects, everything going and suddenly the moon or
the Earth closes off. The moon closes off the sun,
and everything goes quiet as it goes dark, as the
insects stopped chirping, and then it emerges again, they all
start again. Because you wouldn't think that it could be

(01:06:07):
captured so well with just sound, but it's extraordinary anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
C A in.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
Cicadas, americanisms and nandos also to the Air Force Museum
in christ Church. I think that through all the roads
are named after types of planes. Of course sair Drive.
That's actually an airstrip.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Who knew?

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
I thought it was a housing subdivision. But they're going
to land one of the hoocules there next week. Yep,
you hear it here first. That's gonna happen. I gonta why.
I don't know how long it is, but you might
have something to say about that. I have waits. I haven't.
I'm surprised though I keep googling corse Hea driving the

(01:06:56):
wrong one comes up at stupid West Harbor. There should
be a law that each street can only be named
once in the country, Wigram the Air Force Museum of
New Zealand. So they're going to land the hercules there.

(01:07:18):
You want to be there for that. But now, I
mean most of the airstrip has become a subject someone
knows intel about. That would be good to hear from you.
Eight past ten anything else? Boom, you're away? Yes, And
someone's saying at the Nando's underneed you can order from
the table. That's right. I send me one guy running

(01:07:38):
it himself. He did look quite disheveled. Where is the
Air Force Museum located? Christ Church Marcus. I live in
the hotter of Fennel I live in the last time,
eleven twenty I saw this bright light in the sky
to the southeast of live In and want to know
if anyone else saw it. I took a fighter of it,
which I'll see to you. Thank you, Marcus. How does

(01:07:59):
it take one year to test check a train track?
I don't know, Laurie Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
Welcome, Yeah, Hiley Marcus. Yeah. At at Wingram Air Force Museum,
they're actually restoring one of my favorite old aeroplanes. It's
called the Vickers Wilde Beast.

Speaker 8 (01:08:20):
And that was.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
Used for aero photography back in the or nineteen thirties
or so. Sort of a biplane type stuff, but big, great,
big radial engines, and they used to over the West Coast.
One of the stories I read about it was while
they're over there working all the guys they had those

(01:08:44):
big old flying suits anything. But they actually used to
take over carrier pigeons with them, which they could send
back for communication back to Ingram. Yeah, but how many
of those are.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
They going to restore? It flies or in their hangar.

Speaker 6 (01:09:04):
No, apparently that's there's not They can't get enough parts
to get a flying version of Apparently.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
It's have they heard of the internet.

Speaker 6 (01:09:14):
You know, maybe they could work on it, but it
was one of the one of those projects that I've
got going there, and it's I'm always impressed. They've been
to that museum a couple of times now. It's the
most impressive.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
Good recommendation, Larry, And I mean it was.

Speaker 6 (01:09:27):
Always ever impressed with the one up at our market
just recently too. You it was, well, we've got a
couple of there. But but now today on americanisms, I
had lunch birthday lunch from a daughter which it was
kitty corner to the rat hole in Balls. Are you

(01:09:49):
familiar with that term kitty corner corner? So that means
it's diagonal, really yep, And in cats sitting in Canada
and the USA that quite often if it's building, it's
you know, on a four way corner, it's a diagonal one.
It's called known as the kiddy want to But it's
I thought, well.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
That's good, that's good because we don't have a word
for that.

Speaker 24 (01:10:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:10:13):
Yeah, And I mean it's a particularly good restaurant too.
It's known as ball.

Speaker 15 (01:10:21):
But that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
Was it your birthday or was it your daughter's?

Speaker 12 (01:10:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
Has she done the coast? Is she done the coast
to coast.

Speaker 6 (01:10:31):
No, it wasn't that one. She was the support crew
that particular order. But the other one, did you did you?

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
Did you do the coast to coast last weekend?

Speaker 18 (01:10:39):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:10:40):
I didn't know, just followed it. I've actually not running
at prison. I've sort of just getting over a sort
of a bit of a hip problem, not too serious,
but I was sort of locked up a bit. So yeah, took,
I'll let that sort of tangle herself and might get
countering it away again, surely. But one of the one
of the one of the messages that come back from
the people who were down on the coast to coast.

(01:11:02):
But you know the RATA is on fire down on
the West coast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there was something on
TV tonight join the rut down Southwesterland as well. Yeah,
absolutely brilliant. But the uh, when you spoke before about
the American term rambling in relation to to hiking, I

(01:11:26):
was thinking of an interview old Johnny Cash did some
years ago with one of the famous old singers Rambling,
Jack Elliott. Yes, have you heard of them?

Speaker 3 (01:11:38):
Yes?

Speaker 20 (01:11:40):
I remember.

Speaker 6 (01:11:40):
Part way through the interview he said, I always thought
you got that name from all your ramblin around the country.
But now I realized I've tried, after trying to interview, you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
Can't keep you on topic with a wow, I've got
a few of those callers too. Now have you got
have you got something about to rambling?

Speaker 20 (01:12:00):
Laurie?

Speaker 6 (01:12:01):
Well, yeah, Reveling Nandos in Tarmly it closed down, it
was in the square.

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
Closed down there.

Speaker 24 (01:12:07):
It's closed everywhere.

Speaker 6 (01:12:08):
Yeah, ite, they's some years ago. But the interesting the
name of the restaurant to replace it was called The
Arranged Marriage. And that's quite a successful South Indian cuisine restaurant,
really good. Yeah, it's a it's a.

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
Good name, the Arranged Marriage. So it's not it's just
South Indian, is that right?

Speaker 6 (01:12:27):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
We actually the bus stopped on our mega journey at
the at the Square. There's quite a good visitors scender there.
It was quite good. I thought we had a bit
of a wander around there. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:12:39):
No, no, no, it's it's it's scribbled up quite well.
That's yeah, well pretty we have a lot have a
lot of more events in there now. They've reorganized things
and they have the or the old the country game.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Called Caledonian Games or something is that tossing.

Speaker 6 (01:12:57):
The Yeah, No, it's not the Caledonia. It's more or
less the rural. It's the rural games basically, but a
lot of care pat tests and it's serious tree trimming
and a sort of stuff coming up really soon.

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
I think actually looking at that, Laurie, thank you, fourteen
past ten lines free. My name is Marcus. Welcome oh
eight one hundred and eighty today eighty. If you've got
breaking news or Sicada's or anything else you've got, that's
what we're about tonight. Round them up. You might there
might be something different you want to talk about. Monday
it was about what else we talk about on Monday?
Super Bowl and something else? Should we become a state
of Australia? Tuesday we talked about coins. Wednesday? Who knows, Marcus.

(01:13:39):
We went to the Air Force Museum in christ Church
three months ago. F reimpressed. Definitely worth the visit. The
Air Force Museum at Wigram and christ Church has a
Bristol freighter. You can walk into a lot of people
upset about the pronunciation of skata that is the right way.
What name is the most common in street names? I'd

(01:13:59):
say the most common street name would be station Road.
That's quite common. Marine Parade where I live, that's quite common.
Seaview Road's quite common. What would be the most common
street name in New Zealand? It's an extremely good question.

(01:14:21):
What would other reckon it to be station Road? There's
always a station road, hell Road? What would be the
most common street name? Oh you got me thinking now
you might want to appine on that. Who put a
flag on Watchman's Island by the Harbor Bridge. I don't know,
but I'll tell you why that island's in trouble. There'll

(01:14:43):
be nothing left in five years. That's are roading that quickly.
That's the one on the left going across the harbor
Bridge on the Auckland side. That tid always gives me
a smile. Because there was someone that was one of
those columns in the paper and people were discussing the
lies you tell your children, and someone had told their

(01:15:05):
children that Watchman Island was Fiji, which I thought was priceless,
especially hearing about all their friends families are off to Fiji.
That's Fiji. I thought that was great. Good evening markets,
markets welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:15:24):
Gim I guess it's Victoria Queen and Empire.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Do you know this.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
It just is I reckon, I reckon. You might be right?
What about station road? Every town's got about two station roads, not.

Speaker 24 (01:15:41):
Every but everyone's got a Victoria, a Queen and Empire,
every single one.

Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
How will we think that does not have one bluff
and the cargo?

Speaker 8 (01:16:01):
Why did they not have it an outray Victoria?

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
Where you say Victoria Street, Queen Street and Empire Street?

Speaker 24 (01:16:11):
Yep, Victoria, Queen and Empire.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
We've got a Queen's drive. But that's sort of a
pompous name, isn't it not.

Speaker 23 (01:16:21):
You're done?

Speaker 24 (01:16:22):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
You sound uh, you sound like you're traveling well mac.

Speaker 20 (01:16:28):
Oh, mate, we are?

Speaker 7 (01:16:29):
How are you doing?

Speaker 21 (01:16:30):

Speaker 3 (01:16:34):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 24 (01:16:35):
It's hot, yeah, it's todd everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
So something like I haven't I'm not under the heat.
I don't like to have to wear.

Speaker 24 (01:16:45):
I've adjusted.

Speaker 20 (01:16:46):
I'll live eighty miles and I live eighty k's inland.
Some I'm in Cambridge, I live eighty ka's inland. I've
middle of this far from the sea. It's taken me
twelve nearly twelve years to adjust, and I'm finally adjusted.

Speaker 24 (01:17:01):
Do you guess there's the longer cake.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
Has Cambridge got a McDonald's.

Speaker 24 (01:17:06):
Oh yeah, you further the kids.

Speaker 20 (01:17:12):
Obviously it's popular, it was.

Speaker 24 (01:17:16):
It was once, you know, the KFC in Cambridge was
once the highest frequented KFC in New Zealand when it
was on state.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
People always say that, is it true that I think
that it's a new myth? What about beach What about
beach road?

Speaker 24 (01:17:34):
My mum lived on beach Road.

Speaker 3 (01:17:35):
Exactly exactly do you reckon that might be the commonest name?

Speaker 5 (01:17:40):
Mmmm?

Speaker 24 (01:17:41):
Well then, well does every town on you on the
sea of an easter nard? No, no they don't, but
they do ever beach road or here they do ever
beach road, Port Road, Ocean road. While thinking, fong on
mat here people above topo?

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
How we find How we find out what is the
most common nation? Just google it?

Speaker 21 (01:18:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
Well, no purpose, well google it's a lot of it's rubbish.

Speaker 24 (01:18:14):
Of course, It's better use your brain people, it's a
better challenge to try and figure it out. At like
two minutes to mid check.

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
Yes, g P T I I.

Speaker 24 (01:18:28):
I've engaged with that thing.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
Interesting machine, sounding least informed back.

Speaker 24 (01:18:34):
It's an interesting machine.

Speaker 9 (01:18:36):
You ask you a few.

Speaker 24 (01:18:37):
Questions what do you ask?

Speaker 3 (01:18:38):
Are you asking it?

Speaker 22 (01:18:41):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:18:41):
Pretty much anything that's controversial.

Speaker 3 (01:18:43):
Now what are you asking? What are you asking it?

Speaker 17 (01:18:46):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:18:46):
Look, it's been a while since I engaged with it.
I'm more engaged with rock on the on the eggs,
asking it to create images that are just weird. I
want to see the hair is one. Ask it to
put anything person creature on top of the dragon flying

(01:19:12):
through the mist on a battlefield, and that gives you
some interesting images. Don't ask me why I asked him
to do that?

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
People, then, do you own those images or what do
you do with them?

Speaker 24 (01:19:24):
I think I'll get m f T them. You think something?

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
You could want them?

Speaker 24 (01:19:30):
Non fungible trade bar in the open market.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
Dan Carter was into that. That's gone nowhere?

Speaker 8 (01:19:35):
Has it?

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
The n f T s that's sunk, hasn't it?

Speaker 24 (01:19:38):
JK JK put up the images of his career on
Did he you did?

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
Yeah, he's got some daft ideas. I don't know if
that's surfing thing's gonna anyway? Good on them?

Speaker 24 (01:19:49):
No, that'll actually know issue. I think that's got some legs.
It might be the best thing.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Well, other things here are you and I? Or nighttime
talkutcasting doubts on great all blacks business things. But I mean, god,
did he really put all his greatest moments? Says that's laughable?

Speaker 11 (01:20:08):
You did?

Speaker 9 (01:20:11):
He? Yea, Oh, there you go.

Speaker 24 (01:20:14):
I don't know what to say after that.

Speaker 7 (01:20:16):
There you go, cheers Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:20:19):
Always like a guy that can self terminate and using
it in the most common street names are King Street
and Queen Street, reflecting the country's historical ties to British royalty.
You are where's the fact? Were's? Other prevalent street names
include George Street, Victoria Street, William Street, Park Street, Beach Street,
and Church Street are commonly found. Tell us, which is

(01:20:41):
the most common, Marcus, It's got to be Queen Street,
Main Street or High Street. I think it's Beach Road
or Station Road. Fight me for at Cicada, Soicada?

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:20:57):
Eight twenty two past ten? What am I bouncing a
rubbery egg?

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (01:21:04):
You heard here. First common street names Marcus Seacliff Road.
I grew up on that street. We have one here
in Devonport two. The Airport Museum is a favorite for
me and my grandkids. Has a free entry and for

(01:21:25):
five dollars each of the kids can get a sheet
with competition activities and have to find answers on various displays.
Cafe has good coffee. Thanks Marcus. I thought it was Wigram.
I did my basic training as an armorer there in
my glider training. When I was transferred to a Harky,
we flew out of DC three fully loaded, so the

(01:21:47):
good old HRK wouldn't have any worries. It's a big area.

Speaker 17 (01:21:52):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
We were a maid to run it around enough. Also,
it was a motorsport track now and as the lady
Wigram Marcus, I just googled it and this came up.
The most common street names. Our three most proper street
are George Street, Queen Street, and Beach Road. I said
Beach Road day, but Google, what would they know and

(01:22:17):
which of those three is the most common? It's the
question for you. I wouldn't mind actually someone making a
contra comprehensive list of where nandos have been in the
country and where they've gone broke. I don't even know
if there's actually increasing the number of locations. I don't

(01:22:38):
quite know how the franchise model works there. If you've
never tried, it's kind of like a chicken, but it's
got like a, oh, it's barbecued. I think it's a
South African franchise, which I know sounds a bit sketchy.

(01:22:59):
It's even very hard to work out on their website
where they all are, but your order from the table
appears just to be six of them. Auckland Bay have plenty.
The christ Church Deneenen Hamilton went into all the need
ones gone, so I don't know what that's on the website.
This it's reopened. And you go on their website and
Nando's it brings up a map of Melbourne. So clear

(01:23:23):
they've got some struggles with their IT department even I
want to say about that. Twenty seven past ten monamers Marcus,
Welcome Marcus. Most common street name beach Excess Marcus George
Street up there all right? Bix one Aic a local,
fantastic one. To the people regarding no McDonald's at Alberttown Roundabout.

(01:23:47):
It needs to be in one Aca township so kids
can walk a bike safety. You can walk from the
pub to McDonald's for the younger ones to sow rup
of a good feed before they get behind the wheel.
In some cases, Gary Cromwell, Wow, George Street is the
most common name in New Zealand. Linz keeps the official

(01:24:09):
data base off street addresses, which includes a whopping seventy
four George Streets. Finally, some information, Marcus, I've counted eighty
nine streets named park Road in New Zealand. That's the
most of any name I believe regards Smiley and Cromwell.
Could what's the Lynne's website, Linz, Lynne's website street names?

(01:24:33):
If someone got the park road's quite interesting? Can you
do park road versus? I think we're going to find
out some interesting stuff tonight. Finally, again, some information. This
would be a good thing for you, JT. You'd be
into this. This is right up your alley, Linz. Where

(01:24:57):
do I go to in that website? Place names, maps,
I'll search street names, official names. Dan's onto it. So

(01:25:18):
we're gonna have something comprehensive. Can you google that?

Speaker 11 (01:25:23):
Can you do?

Speaker 3 (01:25:24):
How many parks park roads there are? I think Dan's
gonna do this, Guys, We're not gonna die wondering. Think
Nandos's Portuguese? Gosh, oh it was South African. Seventy four
George Streets, sixty nine Queen Streets and Beach streets. How

(01:25:45):
many park aves, park roads, high Marcus LINZ stands for
Lands and New Zealand. They take care of all the
topography and clean things like nautical charts. I love anautical chart.
So yeah, did we get that Google? We get that

(01:26:06):
search that database? Dan, Dan thinks he can. Dan thinks
he can search Park Road thirty Okay, not as many
as George Street. What about School Road? He said, thirty

(01:26:27):
of park What about School Road? George Street does seem
to be the most popular, So seventy two George Streets?
How many school roads? Just school Road?

Speaker 9 (01:26:50):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
More than George's.

Speaker 6 (01:26:55):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
You see we've changed it now loaded it all. Dan's
talking to me. How many would there be? Twenty three? Okay?
What I thought? And someone could explain this to me
slightly clearer, and I'll say this, I'll ask out of
your kindness, because I thought with Wigram right with the

(01:27:18):
Air Force museums, I thought that turned the airstrip into
a subdivision. So that's what I'm surprised. That's why I'm
surprised they've still got an air strip left to lend
that hercules. Could someone explain that to me? Because I thought,
I mean, what's that subdivision of Wigram for isn't that

(01:27:40):
all the old the air strip there that they've turned
into housing. That's what I thought they'd done. Maybe someone's
that there could explain that a bit better to me,
because I thought they'd sacrificed the airstrip for accommodation for subdivisions.
So if anyone knows about that, yeah, I'd like to
hear about that. So I can't see them landing the
plane there, looks like it's not possible Wigram. Someone will

(01:28:07):
know because I believe the airstrip, Yeah, yeah, the airstrip's
been been changed into Wigram Skies. Well, I really want
to see is it before and after picture of that,
because I think there's going to be no chance at
landa playing or I guess they're thinking of it. Peter Marcus, Good.

Speaker 9 (01:28:27):
Evening, Marcus. Just to let you know, Nando's was from
South Africa. It was a Portuguese fantais so Portuguese expats
and the first Nando's was started in Rosettan Hall, a
suburb of a suburb of Johannesburg. What's the name of it,

(01:28:50):
Nando's or Nandos No.

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
The suburb Rosettan Vall Rosettean football.

Speaker 9 (01:28:58):
That's correct. What yearould have that been, Oh, it must
have been around about nineteen eighty seven, coming around there, and.

Speaker 3 (01:29:06):
Obviously was embraced by the South Africans quite quickly and
took off right.

Speaker 9 (01:29:11):
Yeah, then they opened a franchise, first round Johannesburg. Then
it spread all to the major cities urban, Cape Town,
Pretoria and so on, and then then it became international.
So yeah, there were quite a few expat Portuguese people
living in South Africa, from Madeira, from Mozambique and from Angola,

(01:29:34):
and there there were quite a few Portuguese people living
in Johannesburg. So one of their favorite dishes is chicken
Perry Perry. So that's where it was a spatch chicken
Perry Perry. That's how it originated.

Speaker 3 (01:29:50):
Okay, and does the peter does use in it? One
stack up? It's just the same.

Speaker 9 (01:29:57):
Yeah, it's just the same. I mean I've changed the
menu obviously over the years, but yeah, it's just the same.
The sources are the same.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
Because I'm surprised, I mean they seem to open up
and close quite quickly that they don't. They're always busy,
but there just seems to be. I can't quite work
out what happens with the franchise of it. They seem
to struggle.

Speaker 9 (01:30:18):
I think. I think it's surprising, you know, if your price,
you know, half a chicken compared to KFC, it's pretty expensive. Yeah,
but I think that's what what's a lot of people of.

Speaker 3 (01:30:31):
Nice to hear from your Pety will talk more about that.
Sixteen to eleven Marcus till twelve, Nandos and Wigram, that's
what wrong about Marcus. There is part of the field left.
The C one thirty will land on the grass. The
runway is long gone. Marcus. There was an end in

(01:30:52):
RAF for North Auckland. It's still there. The plan, well,
the planet's going to land there because the museum's not there.
I think it's a shame that when planes go to
museums and no longer fly. I always find that kind
of Yeah, trains and cars and trucks and museums. To me,
it's it kills them because they've just become they just

(01:31:17):
don't travel anymore. That's my view on that, and I'm
not going to change my mind. Vehicles need to be
moving and running good evening. Helger, it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:31:32):
I got a request from a lady who's opening a
new pit shop and you're us throwing the Honda for
me to call you about the problem of dogs walking
on the foot path in the middle of the day
and getting burnt feet.

Speaker 8 (01:31:48):
Really yep.

Speaker 13 (01:31:51):
And she sells little pads you can stick on their
little feet that have rubber soles so they can walk
on the foot path comfortably without getting burnt.

Speaker 9 (01:32:02):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
I know on some of those I know on some
of those West Coast beaches. Yeah, that the dog, But
would the dogs not refuse to walk if they were
getting booed?

Speaker 13 (01:32:13):
No, this is on the foot paths around Auckland and
it's tar seal and I've seen them and she's seen
them running flatstick off over the road wanting to the
owners won't let them. And she said that if you
could mention that, because you know she's she's seen a

(01:32:35):
lot of dogs and I've got these feet and she's
really concerned and even the events have been on I
think on the bat and said, please, will you're not
walk your dog during the day or even the evening
in the summer, only on the grass or early in
the morning because the little pets get burnt.

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
Are the dog shoes good?

Speaker 13 (01:33:00):
Well, she's got stick on soles. But I tell you
I saw her on Facebook dogs and and I'm trying
to wear sandals. They've got dog sandals. They got four
sandals on four feet, so.

Speaker 3 (01:33:15):
You just throw them away each time?

Speaker 18 (01:33:17):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (01:33:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:33:19):
These ones? Oh, I don't know. I'd have to ask her,
but I could go to the shop tomorrow and get
her cards. She didn't give me her card because she
said she was so busy. And I didn't get your
phone number because she's trying to get the shop. It's
going to work till midnight to get it ready for tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:33:39):
Oh, she's just opening.

Speaker 13 (01:33:41):
Yeah, and she asked me to ring you please.

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
It seems the first place I can see you can
see stick on dog souls on TIMU. There's no surprise
there is there.

Speaker 13 (01:33:52):
This is New Zealand.

Speaker 11 (01:33:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
I know we've got people trying to buy those stick
on dog shoes. How much do they?

Speaker 18 (01:34:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:34:01):
Well, look when you look up China dog sandals, because
I've seen them on Facebook, just in part dog sandals?

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Are you a dog owner, Helga?

Speaker 13 (01:34:10):
No, I've been a pussy cat. I've only stayed with
one lady who had a dog and making friends. But no,
I've been a pussy cat person my whole life.

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
So why are you hanging out of the dog shop.

Speaker 13 (01:34:23):
Well, it was a pet chop I passed, Oh I see,
And I watched the dogs walking, and since I heard
from a bit on the radio, I'm pretty sure it's
one you'd be talking about it. I watched the dogs
the way they walk. They will not sniff the lamp
post or the bushes during the middle of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:34:44):
They just walk quickly because the feeder burned.

Speaker 13 (01:34:49):
Yeah, it's just terrible, isn't it. Like I said to
a man today, he was sitting in Juvist Road on
a seat and he had a dog, and I was
standing on the hot foot bus and I said, did
you realize your dog's bending your feet? And he says no,
And I said, will you take she's off? And walked
right down Jervois Road on the task deal. He said no, Well,

(01:35:13):
I said, that's what your dog's having to do.

Speaker 3 (01:35:16):
He was he receptive to you taking over? That's a busybody.
Was her receptive to it?

Speaker 8 (01:35:21):
Well?

Speaker 13 (01:35:22):
He was actually new the lady who owns a pit shop.
But I don't think she's not talked to him about
it yet. And he said, well, sometimes they walk my
dog on the grass, but there's not much grass along
Jubiri's road. It's up market, up stuck up. Not the
ponts of me I was brought up from the people

(01:35:43):
are funny. But she's moved and she's just like you
and me Auklanders not because like I was brought up
three lamps points a bit and we're not stuck up
with this lot of really poppy nosed They don't live
around there. Bet they've come in from the other suburbs
and making out there from ponts of me wearing.

Speaker 3 (01:36:04):
Up and down the street in the yoga gear buying
their gelato. Nice hell, but thank you very keen to
keep the discussion going about dog's feet getting burnt. Is
it a recent thing with it getting hotter? But I
know on the West coast beaches where that black sanders
can be very hot for dogs paws, But a dog

(01:36:27):
is aware of that. Is that something you because I've
never seen I've never seen dogs with shoes or with pads.
By the way, we've talked about the Hercules landing at
the Air Force Museum at Wigram. Someone sent me a
text that'splying my mind right. It said the Sea one
thirty shouldn't have any problems landing on the grass strip

(01:36:49):
at Wigrim. It's designed to operate from unpaved strips. Were
you aware the US Navy successfully trial the landing and
takeoff of a Sea one thirty from an aircraft carrier.
This took place in late nineteen sixty three using the
USS Forestal. The C one thirty landed several times without

(01:37:14):
a resting gear and took off again without a catapult.
I went straight to YouTube. It's all there. They filmed.
It's amazing. Did I have a touch and go landings
first to just see it. Then they'd landed a large
number of times with increasing loads, and they land with
a ton of room to spare, So there you go.
I had no idea that the hercules could land on

(01:37:36):
aircraft carrier. It seems they didn't continue with that. You
might want to communicate that as well. So dogs and
burnt pores and landing hercules on aircraft carriers they are
the major topics. Also, someone keeps texting me that second
street they reckon is the most common named street in

(01:37:57):
New Zealand. We haven't got any more definition of that
sleep thing you've been on, have you, Dan, No, it's sorry.
We're also talking cicadas and americanizations and nandos. So there
you go, those five topics. It feels like it's too many.
So whatever you want to go on about tonight, I
will indulge you and welcome you. Anyone's welcome as long

(01:38:21):
as they're not drunk, So get in touch. Marcus. I've
just left the latest Bridget Jones movie. It was brilliant.
Hugh Grand's absolute fox. I laughed, I cried, at wore
my heart, restored my faith in the human race. I
must see for those who need chirping up. I think

(01:38:42):
they mean cheering up, Marcus. Check out the old nandos
A Tailgunna love the show. Marcus Fielding has a steam
train museum. Pay you two has a railcar museum. I'm
a huge believer in the pay yere to a railcar
museum because they're getting a Vulcan up and running. It's
taken twenty years, but it's almost on its way. I

(01:39:08):
might check on their website now. Actually, I love a
rail car Graham. It's Marcus. Good evening, good Graham.

Speaker 14 (01:39:19):
Can I ask you a question?

Speaker 17 (01:39:20):
How else is it?

Speaker 14 (01:39:21):
Since you have been in Christ? Who's all been told
about Wigram?

Speaker 3 (01:39:26):
I'm in Christ you most years for a month?

Speaker 9 (01:39:30):
Okay?

Speaker 14 (01:39:31):
Did you know that Wigram as an Air Force bace
does not exist? Yes, it's all housing.

Speaker 3 (01:39:39):
Yes. When I was studying Stonemason, we went up there
and saw all that weird stuff when they get those
rock rivers and put them in each ways.

Speaker 17 (01:39:50):
Have you been there?

Speaker 14 (01:39:53):
Yes? But what I'm asking you is how in your
comments earlier on can you say that who gets can
lend on the grass?

Speaker 3 (01:40:02):
Oh? Okay? Are you ex military?

Speaker 21 (01:40:07):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:40:08):
What's what's your not all? Sorry, what's your area of expertise?

Speaker 14 (01:40:15):
Thanks to driving thirty years in crossage?

Speaker 3 (01:40:18):
Okay, so when was the last time you were at Wigram?

Speaker 14 (01:40:23):
About a year ago? Driving through it?

Speaker 9 (01:40:25):
Not less?

Speaker 14 (01:40:27):
It doesn't exist in the sense that there's no runways
or anything. All the grass is gone. Okay, it's a
complete residential area of course. Here avenue have that avenue
plus other names.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
Okay, I've got a letter here from the Chief of
the Air Force, right, yeah, yeah, that they've sent around
the people of Wigram Deer neighbor. Can I read it
to you. Yeah, yeah, yep, deer neighbor see one thirty
Hercules delivery to Air Force Museum. We wanted to let

(01:41:00):
you know in advance about an unusual aircraft movement plan
for the coming weeks. The RNZAF is intending to land
to see one thirty eight Hercules transport aircraft on the
grounds of the Air Force Museum between the hours of
eight am and eight pm within the next month. The
landing is with a dependent so our apologies that we

(01:41:23):
cannot be more exact about the timings because this is
an unusual event. Are ins in our person that will
be out of the labor out in the nable the
next days talking to residents closer to the Air Force
Museum who are near the flight path to explain what's
happening and answer any questions you may have. The aircraft
will make its final touchdown here, having concluded sixty years

(01:41:45):
of service in New Zealand. It will then be prepared
to go into storage prior to display in the future.
The Hercules will be flying in via a low approach
over coarseer drive.

Speaker 14 (01:41:55):
I think you mentioned courseier drive, did you, Yeah, of
course there will be re.

Speaker 3 (01:42:01):
Loud there will be re loud noise for a short
amount of time as it flies over goes into reverse
thrust upon landing. While helicoppers land regularly in your area,
the site and sound of such a large aircraft on
a low approach will be unusual. Please do not be alarmed.
Do you think this is a.

Speaker 17 (01:42:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:42:22):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:42:23):
No?

Speaker 14 (01:42:23):
Is that the only aircraft in New Zealand or the
world that my altering the pitch of us propellers? It
can go backwards?

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
Hang on, you asked me when on the ground. You
asked me when I was last in christ Church? Yes,
and said that the plane wouldn't land there.

Speaker 14 (01:42:42):
Well, I notice you're nine percent sure that the movement
doesn't exist. Planes don't fly over it anymore. There's no
there's no planes there. It's just it's a presidential area.

Speaker 3 (01:42:52):
But have you been to the Air Force Museum lately? Yes,
and there's land.

Speaker 14 (01:42:57):
Next to it, right, there is a land next to it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:01):
Yes, that's where the hercules will land. Well all, okay, okay, yeah,
I'm surprised.

Speaker 9 (01:43:13):
Yeah I am too.

Speaker 3 (01:43:15):
Yeah, okay, you're clearly surprised. You have driven Texas for thirty.

Speaker 14 (01:43:18):
Years, Well yeah, but not through there for the past
five years. But yes, yeah, I'm very surprised. That's a
very small space.

Speaker 3 (01:43:26):
It says we have support from the Fire Service and
christ Airport.

Speaker 14 (01:43:31):
Okay, yep, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:43:33):
It says the Sea one three Hercules was designed to
conduct short landings, including on grass one ways. It is
perfectly said to landing at Wigram.

Speaker 6 (01:43:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:43:45):
Correct, and it has done in the past when before
it was all changed. Another week piece of information for you.
Have you looked around Christ you know that up on
the Port Hills, just past Marley's Hill where the big
fires were a year or so ago. Yes, there's a
little dome, a dome up there. I don't know the

(01:44:06):
name of it off the top of my head, but
it's a dome that controls the aircraft that they were
at the Crossian's Airport. Yeah, we made out for them.

Speaker 5 (01:44:14):
Yep.

Speaker 14 (01:44:16):
It goes down as far as covers, as far as Dunedin.

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
Okay, the old dome. Okay, Graham, good on you, thank you.
Fifteen past eleven, still after the government and Highbury Palmers
North living one street off this area to have kids
in the school, but very normal and have had plenty
events over the years. People should be grateful with the
police action, even if it wasn't convenient. I had to
wait at the end of the court and to collect
my youngest have them in the area I work nights.

(01:44:43):
It does stress me out leaving the family. Hope they
catch them. Love your show, Aiden, Marcus Live and Wigram.
Tons of room for landing mate, It's a great email
from the night. I should have read all of it,
because email goes on and on to say more. It
says the Hercules will approach over the Coursey Ride end
of the airfield and land in the direction of Vickory's Road,

(01:45:03):
and it will then taxi towards the park from the
museum main hangers. This should take less than ten minutes.
Do I leave my home? No, there is no need
to leave your home. You're likely hear of real loud noises.
The aircraft flies over, and there'll be some vibration for
a few things that does so. Will it do more
than one approach? The aircraft may need more than one
approach for consurer and sure cognitions are right for landing.

(01:45:25):
The R and d f's feet of the five Hercules
have completed more than one hundred thousand landing safety over
the past sixty years. Airports have fire crew. Will there
be a crew on site with support from the Fire
Service and KROST each airport. What a fascinating letter, dogs
and dogs feet? You want to check them on a onesie?

(01:45:50):
Mind you don't want to check them a onesie, then
get too hot. I don't even know what to say
about dogs and shoes. You want like sort of slippers
with like rubber, like an egg boot or something. Hello, Mary, Allo, Mario,
it's Marcus. Start talking.

Speaker 5 (01:46:10):
Welcome him Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:46:13):
Regarding dogs and their feet and protection for them.

Speaker 3 (01:46:20):
Just being a radio off the Mary, sorry of doing.

Speaker 16 (01:46:26):
I knew some people years ago in Alexandra and they
had contact people in Canada Marcus who made dog made
we shoes. I think they looked like felt. They were
made out of felt, but they projected the dog's feet

(01:46:47):
very well. Now that was the eighties and I think
if somebody asked a vet or something which someone could
point that could possibly know about it, because it's very important.
But the weird thing.

Speaker 3 (01:47:02):
Is, Mary, people love their dogs so much. Blovery really
see dogs and shoes.

Speaker 16 (01:47:09):
Well, it's the only time I've seen shoes on dogs.
But we we knew them quite well. And yeah, they
were just like little felt built booties.

Speaker 17 (01:47:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:47:24):
No, but no, we're talking about the buddy for excuse me,
a frozen freezing in the winter.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
Oh, I see, it was the winter thing. It was
to get them warm. Yeah, what sort of dog, Mary.

Speaker 16 (01:47:36):
I'm just trying to remember goship so long ago. Now
I know it was the brown one. That could have
been a hunt Away. It could have been m It
was well loved and I used to get those very
nice to talk.

Speaker 3 (01:47:54):
Think you always enjoy a dog, dog and shoes topic tonight,
there we go a hunter Away, Marcus. If people are
loosing this week in art Deco and maybe a whole
town drestling goes back to the thirties worth the lock
come dressed up? Oh yes, Will I be going to
the Art Deco weekend?

Speaker 18 (01:48:17):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:48:17):
And the reason I get freaked out by people that
dress up from a different era. It would be the
least comfortable place in the world for me to be.
Can see them all there with their bob haircuts and
smoking cigarettes and those cigarette holders. Ooh, I'm surprised it

(01:48:41):
still goes. And I don't want to fuel the hate
because I know people love the Art Deco weekend, but boy,
oh boy, That does not sound like fun to me,
but I know people love it. Marcus. I live in
Elie Springs. Very common to see dogs with shoes on.
They're like socks. Concrete paths extremely hot during the summer. Well,

(01:49:06):
why aren't there shoe shops for dogs? There's that many dogs?
Why is there not something like.

Speaker 18 (01:49:17):
Try?

Speaker 3 (01:49:17):
I think what the good shoe shop is anyway? Not
pay less? What's the what's the shoe shop? They always
go on anyway? Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Monames, Marcus, welcome.
I was still very excited about the landing of the plane.
I think there should be more excitement about that. Yeah,

(01:49:42):
number one shoe wearhouse for dogs. There'd be the thing
to open, wouldn't it? A dog shoe shop? Search and
rescue dogs wear shoes through the rubble after the quake,
just like Puss and Boots. I asked chet GPT about

(01:50:03):
the most common street teams and us in and here
is the answer. The top ten most common street names
include Victoria Street, King Noises include typically include they never
give you the facts. Victoria Street, King Street, Queen Street,
George Street, Albert Street, Station Road, High Street, Church Street,
Main Street, Clyde Street. The exact rankings very slightly depending

(01:50:28):
on specific criterion sources used. And this about Victoria Street.
There are over one hundred streets named Victoria Street in
New Zealand. This includes various towndencies across the country. Highly
the names popular as attribute to Queen Victoria. I want
it was the Exponents song the exact number, and various

(01:50:49):
new streets are developed or existing ones are renamed. Marcus
as someone in napier of the art deco is only
good for the bunch of rich white people. We lower
class can't afford the party lull. You should do the alternate.

(01:51:13):
This looks terrible to me. I just think, jeepers, it's
gone for about thirty years. I remember when we were
filming the railway documentary, they said, look, we can do something.
We're around the deck. I thought, no, please, I'd rather
put on dog shoes. I think the nineteen that flapper

(01:51:39):
areas a particularly horrible error as well, with those sorts
of feather bowers and things. I'm just trying to think
if I could dress up and go back in time
and fancy dress, what my era I dress would be.
I think it'd be the seventies, the eighteen seventies, Carol,

(01:52:03):
it's Marcus. Good evening, good evening.

Speaker 21 (01:52:06):
Marcus, just ringing about some dog's footwear. First, I remember
years ago seeing a dog standing well on the footpath
beach resort with resort owner talking with someone else. Must
have been talking for a while. Poor dog. I wondered
for a moment, why lifting its paws, you know, And

(01:52:26):
obviously you know, Feta got half on the pavement. It
was a really hot day. Anyway. We had a young
friend come out from Europe and with her dog and
he had the most beautiful leather booties on his feet.
And he's so good, he was well trained before going out.

(01:52:48):
Just you know, as pause up and she sort of
put these on.

Speaker 3 (01:52:54):
Dog couldn't put them on himself. There'd be a good dog,
that's right.

Speaker 21 (01:52:57):
But he you know, there was no fuss, just you know,
sort of it was all part of the routine.

Speaker 16 (01:53:04):
But that lead that they were.

Speaker 3 (01:53:07):
You know what, there would be a great internet business
for someone, wouldn't it made to measure leather dog shoes.
You could do them at home. You could have a website.

Speaker 20 (01:53:16):
Call it like.

Speaker 3 (01:53:18):
A great thing, wouldn't it for someone working?

Speaker 20 (01:53:20):
Well?

Speaker 21 (01:53:21):
I think it will actually to sort of carry on.
She wasn't long, you know, not many weeks here, and
of course they're you know, walking in our terrain, and
a booty was had boots for front and back paws
and the different sizing I think according to whether it
was you know, the back of the front paws. But anyway,

(01:53:42):
one booty was lost and they actually purchased from one
of the pet shops. I'm wondering if it might have
been animates the replacement booty anyway, or boot a pair,
I guess, And that didn't seem to be difficult, and
you know, they've sort of got one within a short time.

(01:54:05):
But then I found it or learned that they purchased
online I think possibly from Europe, where she'd come from.
But you know, he now has here's another set of booties.
So yes, I just thought, is it, you know, does happen?
I'n't ever known of dogs having booties, but having seen

(01:54:27):
the dog that I spoke of, you know, standing on
the hot pavement, the dog, the dog lie down, well
it was hot.

Speaker 3 (01:54:36):
You know, if your feet a boiling, i'd lie down.

Speaker 22 (01:54:42):
Mh.

Speaker 3 (01:54:44):
I'm trying to think like a dog.

Speaker 21 (01:54:46):
Well, on the pavement boiling, you know, the pavements really hot. Yes, cortious,
body wouldn't it hello?

Speaker 3 (01:54:54):
I mean more patting with it between lots of dog.
It is George, Hello, mIRC is welcome yet?

Speaker 4 (01:55:05):
Yeah the dog?

Speaker 3 (01:55:07):
Yes, you sound sane.

Speaker 4 (01:55:12):
I've just finished shift.

Speaker 20 (01:55:13):
So I must be.

Speaker 4 (01:55:18):
Yeah. I've got a couple of friends up and palms
the north, one of them being a vet and they
told off. Another group of my friends were taking their
dog out on the on the hot pavement.

Speaker 20 (01:55:36):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:55:37):
And he's not particularly well trained dog. He's lovely but
not very well trained.

Speaker 2 (01:55:42):
But he.

Speaker 4 (01:55:46):
They were wondering why he was. He wasn't walking like,
he was pulling like he didn't want to walk anymore
to the thing anyway, They took him home and he
had blisters all on his paws right down to the
right down. Then they're popped open right down to the
bare skin to the sort of capillary level. And had

(01:56:07):
to go into the vet and get them more banished
up and regular sort of thing. About three times a week.
Had to go back to the vet and get the
equivalent of what is sabilon. Basically chucked on his paws
every and had the cast so now so now he
is a mobile because dogs find well, I've found anyway

(01:56:30):
with dogs, if you put like the little booties on them,
sometimes they don't like them and they walk a bit funny.
So he's just decided to to lay off for a bit.
So he's not getting any exercise in the past probably
three weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:56:44):
So I suppose that's when you're supposed to go into
the park with the dog exercising.

Speaker 4 (01:56:48):
Here, Yeah, on the grass and stuff. Yeah, but the rule.
But the rule stands. My friend Noway says, who's the vet,
always says the same with the black sand beach. If
you can't, if you can't stand on the on the
hot black pavement or or black sand for more than
ten seconds with bare feet, don't put your dog in the.

Speaker 9 (01:57:07):
Because their skins because their pause.

Speaker 4 (01:57:10):
From my understanding art.

Speaker 23 (01:57:12):
Are almost the same as al yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:57:16):
Feet because you get sort of callouses and the pressure
points and your feet the dog and the dog has
it the same, essentially.

Speaker 3 (01:57:23):
Nice to hear from it, George, thank you. Eighteen to twelve.
I did do chet GPT for a good name for
dog shoes, and they went for good wolf walks. I
think was the best one. A playful catching name that
suggests the shoes I meant for both style and long walks.
What terrible names can you say? Can you come back
with something the funnier, Dan Marcus art deco is the

(01:57:47):
most toffee nosed event us in and holds it to
who's who of the town's upper class. The opposite event
would be kiwi's and leather jackets with thirty to sixties
cars chopped. Don't make hot rods and do burn out
to I break one and eat geese. I get to
anger with people dress up dogs. It's not natural. They

(01:58:08):
had dogs for goodness sake. People are insane if they
take dogs walking in the head of the day, Marcus.
Police dogs have shoes to wear if it's a dangerous
situation that could damage their feet. So I was really
disappointed when I saw that policewoman's funel. The dog standing
there on that very hot ash felt with no particular footwear.

(01:58:28):
In fact, I was damn annoyed as pleasure of known better, Marcus.
I went ten years without shoes. If you walk all
the time, your feet get hard. Now I wear shoes.
I couldn't walk the same places without them. If you
pussy your dog, you always need to pussy your dog. Gee,

(01:58:58):
give me five more. Make them as funny as you can.
Bark boots, because every pup needs a pair of shoes
to bark about. Demic for dogs who want to infect
the world with their fabulous footwear. Muttitude shoes for dogs
with serious attitude. Hell yeah, a cheecky name for the

(01:59:20):
pup that really wants to strut their stuff. Fortiture, fertitude
the poor that gives your name, the fortitude to take
on the world, or just the park. That's better, isn't it?

Speaker 18 (01:59:30):
What is?

Speaker 3 (01:59:32):
Hell yeah? Hell yeah? Should we go and say any
say that's great? But what about one really funny one?
By the way, the chet GPT names for the dogs
you copy were terrible. The listeners have suggested some for
every good ones. One is barking stocks, birken Stocks, barking stocks.
The other is hush Puppies. I've gone back with dog Martins,

(01:59:55):
which I think is quite good. So there we go.
Sm Smoky Marcus welcome, Yeah, yeah, I smoky.

Speaker 8 (02:00:06):
Yeah, Okay. I spent all my life with big teams
working dogs in Australia and New Zealand and Australia. I
had ten working dogs there, in the all war boots
because of the dry conditions and the booze and that,

(02:00:27):
and sometimes excuse me, so it takes about an hour
sometimes the time you fit your boots and mark about.
But you would not be able to do the work
without them.

Speaker 3 (02:00:42):
And some of that boots were they smoky? Would you
get them made or would you make them?

Speaker 8 (02:00:47):
We make them ourselves out of the kangaroo hide or
kangaroo hide, very strong, whatather and strong. And back in
year Zealand working down in the South Island of some
of that big sheep country down there, you got a
lot of shingles, slides and river crossings, you know, and

(02:01:07):
it's very important to excuse me, keep your dog's feet
right else you ain't got to do your job.

Speaker 3 (02:01:15):
Nice to hear from your smoky thank you. It's all
about dog shoes. Bryce ats Marcus. Good evening, Good.

Speaker 7 (02:01:21):
Evening, Marcus. I'm just thinking outside the square, Marcus. I
was a possum trapper for about ten years. And we're
always told to put a hat on and gloves at
night when you're sleeping in the bush every night, you know,
because you lose all the heat. Well, thinking about it
didn't reverse a dog's feet. A dog doesn't sweat. I

(02:01:45):
heard somewhere right, that's why they pant.

Speaker 3 (02:01:49):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (02:01:50):
And if the heat is going through the feet, the
dog wants to get out because he wants to control
the heat. Didn't treat into his body because he's not sweating.
That's that's why they pant to get rid of the heat.

Speaker 3 (02:02:10):
So are you thinking the shoes are good or a
bad thing?

Speaker 7 (02:02:14):
The true degree, they would get blisters. But it's not
just that it's the heat out of their body. They
can't control the heat because it's coming into their body
and they know it sweat.

Speaker 3 (02:02:31):
Okay, price, Thank you, Terry Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 19 (02:02:34):
Oh yeah, Marca was going on John Street? Nice to
get a live and I mean I go to my
aunties and walk them once and she lives in John Street.
Well what's John Street?

Speaker 17 (02:02:46):
Is a lot of.

Speaker 11 (02:02:51):
Street name?

Speaker 3 (02:02:52):
Yeah, now I'll find out how is John Street? Are they? Then, dans,
I'll find out for your Tyry Marcus. My husband was
blind and had a magnetic guide dog. Will be a
magnetic guide dog. We purchased four Nike boots for dogs
from New York so the guide dog could work in
couple on hot days worked really well. The guide dog

(02:03:14):
adjusted to ruin them quickly. They have plenty of sight
on on to purchase good boots for dogs. I think
it'd be a magnetic guye guide What would it be?
What's that word? Thirty six? John streets Terry, what's a
magnetic guide dog? Magnificent guide dog?

Speaker 18 (02:03:33):
It must be.

Speaker 3 (02:03:36):
Because it was a magnetic guide dog. So person is Claire?
I presume it to women because she says my husband
was blind. It was not a magnetic guide dog. It
was a magnificent guide dog.

Speaker 11 (02:03:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:03:53):
What would be the best name for a company that
sold dog shoes? Gone to the dogs? Almost time for
me to go, and then it's not a problem, poor souls.
Someone says, anyone's got any brilliant but interesting? People quite

(02:04:17):
down on the Deco festival. Seems like it feels a
bit sort of third Reichi or something. Oh no, that's
not quite right with the word. But have set the
time stamp for the landing of a South African seven

(02:04:41):
four seven to a museum on its final journey, as
the one way is too short for it to take
off again, a very narrow one way. Oh thank you
for that, of course, I don't have to take off,
so I presume you can land on a shorter runway
than taking off. That's right, Thank you. Oh wow, this
is amazing to mess of seven four seven at rand Airport.

(02:05:05):
Oh that's an extraordinary shot. God, they're a beautiful looking plane.
That would be the greatest design the humans ever come
up with a seven four seven plane.

Speaker 20 (02:05:17):
I just love it.

Speaker 3 (02:05:20):
Look at that majestic.
